This is a coin that I ATed. It took three months and the process was natural, but I induced the toning to happen.


What method did you use Typecoin?

Here's a before-and-after of a Peace dollar...one of only two coins that I have ever dipped.

But I was wondering: Do they continue to tone...forever? Do they eventually turn black? My silverware turns black if I don't keep it wrapped properly, so I was wondering if it was the same.


You are exactly correct. The same chemistry and physics apply to coins.

I stuck it in an old paper envelope and let it sit in top of my dresser for three months. It had recently been harshly cleaned, which left the surfaces raw and very reactive.

Thanks I've got a couple harshly cleaned coins from when I was a kid. What type of paper did you use? A manila envelope?
Rest in Peace
